Overview: Trees along ditches? What was once seldom recommended is now considered a responsible approach to drainage management and, when done properly, very compatible with drainage objectives. Trees planted or maintained along ditches can: save money, meet environmental regulations, improve water quality and provide wildlife habitat. When constructing a new ditch or maintaining an existing one, clearing and grubbing costs can be reduced substantially by leaving at least one side vegetated. Leaving woody vegetation minimizes wind and water erosion' which affects crop yields and reduces the accumulation of sediment in the channel.
